Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus (laevis, myrtifolia) / Aristida beyrichiana - Chapmannia floridana Woodland
Reference: Carr, S. C., K. M. Robertson, an...
Description: This central Florida sandhill is dominated by an open canopy of <i>Pinus palustris</i>. This community typically lacks a well-developed subcanopy, especially in contrast to surrounding <i>Pinus clausa</i> scrub vegetation. However, the shrub layer may be well-developed, even under frequent fire conditions, and appears to be dominated by sprouts of <i>Quercus laevis</i> and <i>Quercus myrtifolia</i>. A rich herbaceous layer is present. Characteristic species in this stratum are <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> and <i>Licania michauxii</i>. In addition, a number of species found primarily in central Florida may also be present, among the most frequent of which is <i>Chapmannia floridana</i>. Other geographically limited species may include <i>Sabal etonia, Polygonella ciliata</i>, and <i>Arnoglossum floridanum</i>.
